Cerámica Triana

Triana


Seville specialises in distinctive azulejos (ceramic tiles) and they are best bought in Triana, the historic hub of the city's ceramic industry. Cerámica Triana has been around for more than 50 years and its tiled shopfront is something of a local landmark. Inside, you'll find every inch of space crammed with decorative crockery, tiles, signs, crucifixes and figurines.
